This is the approximate bloody image of our world: “Mors tua, vita mea” - the Latin phrase translates to “your death, my life” or “your death is my life.” I prefer to use the second translation in this article: “Your death is my life.”
PREMISE
The natural and man-made worlds are still sustained by a few peaceful people. Those few who politically (SPEC) desire a man-made world based on human rights seek to change this already outdated human history - founded on conflicts, wars, and the constant killing of those hostiles to life and freedom. This instinctive mentality of killing, annihilating, and destroying is partly natural and is silently culturally inculcated, indoctrinated through various means in present-day cultures and civilizations, including faiths, beliefs, and spiritual systems. From individuals and families to relationships between ordinary people, states, and even certain religions, faiths, and spiritualisms - despite their masks and black rhetoric - many practice, approve, or secretly sustain killing and annihilation as a solution. Every day, we witness SPEC killings and other negative activities of criminal organizations like the Mafia and terrorist groups that advocate killing and annihilation as an effective solution. This is the approximate bloody image of our world: “Mors tua, vita mea” - the Latin phrase translates to “your death, my life” or “your death is my life.” I prefer to use the second translation in this article: “Your death is my life.”
Human History Is Portrayed by Killings, Conflicts, and Wars
To avoid delving too far into history to affirm this fact, I briefly remind you that we are not so different from prehistoric human behaviour concerning killings. During dark historical periods, humans survived without so-called peace agreements, submitting to the authority of bullies. Then came the grave error of the Western colonial period, sustained by the Catholic Church, which annihilated cultures, civilizations, and killed countless native people worldwide. Later, the so-called First and Second World Wars—originating in Europe but dragging in other regions due to colonialism - saw the use of atomic bombs for various reasons. Yet, all powerful nations still cling to atomic and nuclear weapons. There is no mutual trust among them, and they are incapable of envisioning the world as a shared space where all human beings must be respected for their differences. Despite these dark and horrific experiences, the 21st century remains normalized to killings, conflicts, and wars. And yet, we boast loudly about our technological, scientific advancements, and “cultural-civil lifestyles” (of whom?). When the world is a den of SPEC (socio-political-economic-cultural) killers, criminals, terrorists, and thieves, all cling to the principle: “your death is my life.”
Yet, a mentality rooted in historical guilt biases Western and U.S. policymakers toward this “quasi-alien” people. How much longer must the world endure Israel’s gratuitous violence against innocents? They kill and justify atrocities by labelling victims as “terrorists” or “antisemitic.” What about the children, women, and elderly? Are they all “terrorists” and “antisemitic”?
“Guilty Conscience Troubles the Mind” – Western and U.S.A. Politics
We have endured two Western cultural-civil wars in recent history, and now a dispersed, fragmented Type III World War is unfolding in the 21st century. The leaders responsible for these fragmented wars and conflicts accuse and judge each other while continuing to bully and prolong the violence. Currently, wars and conflicts rage in 26 countries worldwide. The gravest among them are Russia-Ukraine and the killing of children, youth, women, and the elderly in Gaza by the Israeli army. These wars and conflicts always involve innocent casualties. According to so-called international law, harming innocents is prohibited - yet, for example, the daily killings of children and, as of 11 August 2025, the killing of two Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza by the Israeli army are justified as “terrorist eliminations.” The so-called international community remains incapable of action, only issuing statements on behalf of their organizations, countries, or “human rights and fantastic values” they themselves fail to uphold. They all allow these killings to continue.
Is the silence regarding Israeli killings due to a “guilty conscience” over World War II? As an Asian-origin academic living in Europe (Rome), I still find this strange, as I have no concept of so-called “antisemitism.” I suspect this term, beyond its original meaning, has been instrumentalized to advance certain strategies. It resembles children exploiting their parents’ guilt to get what they want. For instance, Germany provides war logistics to this “special group” (who claim to be “chosen by their God”) to kill Hamas members in Gaza. Yet, we clearly see that no terrorists, but children, adolescents, women, the elderly, and journalists are being slaughtered daily with these weapons.
Historical guilt over past “errors” does not justify arming killers and staying silent as they massacre innocents. The Western world is undoubtedly a great and attractive place to live and collaborate, with advanced academic, scientific, technological, and theoretically human rights-based democratic systems. Its SPEC (socio-political-economic-cultural) systems function better than most. Yet, a mentality rooted in historical guilt biases Western and U.S. policymakers toward this “quasi-alien” people. How much longer must the world endure Israel’s gratuitous violence against innocents? They kill and justify atrocities by labelling victims as “terrorists” or “antisemitic.” What about the children, women, and elderly? Are they all “terrorists” and “antisemitic”?
The concept of “antisemitism” remains strange and quasi-unidentified to me. For example, Asian people are unfamiliar with this instrumentalized, clamoured-about concept, defined as “prejudice against” or “hatred of Jews” (or far-right quasi-fascist Zionists?)
Instrumentalized – “Antisemitism” and “Russophobia”
The concept of “antisemitism” remains strange and quasi-unidentified to me. For example, Asian people are unfamiliar with this instrumentalized, clamoured-about concept, defined as “prejudice against” or “hatred of Jews” (or far-right quasi-fascist Zionists?). Yet, we see it used as a tool to target, slay (thinkers, journalists), silence, and suppress democratic dissent in the West and U.S.A. If one speaks against or even points out an error by an individual or group from this “special nation,” they are targeted by authorities and the global Jewish diaspora. No one can touch these quasi- “alien people.” But why?
I have no personal interest in or relations with this group, which the West and U.S.A. fanatically and dogmatically protect. But for me, the killing of children, youth, women, and the elderly - and the bombing of schools, nurseries, and hospitals - is intolerable. What this “special people” demand is simple: global recognition as a nation. Though their tricky manoeuvring to gain Western, U.S., and U.N. approval as a country can be tolerated, their actions in Gaza defy their claimed principles.
The world, as I said, is changing. Old systems are fading, losing their spirit due to incoherent and immature mindsets.
International community is dragging the world into an “unknown crisis”?
The incoherent and imprudent behaviour of the international community and organizations like the U.N. is dragging the world into an unknown crisis. The world must collaborate based on mutual respect and trust, free from bias. Unlike the last two World Wars, these fragmented wars undermine agreed-upon principles, human rights treaties, international laws, and global goodwill. Everyone watches how the West, U.S.A., and international bodies act. I observe irreparable damage already done by Europe and the U.S.A. regarding Israel and Gaza.
We do not approve of Hamas’ killings. But “we don’t bite a dog that has bitten us.” We must act wisely and diligently. When Israel follows the same ruthless methods as Hamas, what is the difference? No one can accept Gaza’s killings just because Hamas killed people two years ago. The world, as I said, is changing. Old systems are fading, losing their spirit due to incoherent and immature mindsets.
